FISHERIES RESOURCES MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CALLED
THE DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES, DR LAWRENCE LEE, TODAY (MONDAY) CALLED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RATIONAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR FISHERIES RESOURCES IN THE EAST AND SOUTH CHINA SEAS IN THE FACE OF DECLINING MARINE RESOURCE LEVELS IN THE AREA.
DR LEE, WHO IS ALSO PRESIDENT OF THE MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF HONG KONG, WAS ADDRESSING THE OPENING SESSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MARINE BIOLOGY OF HONG KONG AND THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.
SINCE FISHERIES RESOURCES IN THE EAST AND SOUTH CHINA SEAS WERE EXPLOITED BY A NUMBER OF NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES, A PROPER MANAGEMENT SCHEME COULD ONLY MATERIALISE WITH INTER-GOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION, DR LEE STRESSED.
THE CONFERENCE, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER MORE THAN 100 MARINE BIOLOGISTS AND FISHERIES SCIENTISTS FROM 12 REGIONS INCLUDING CHINA, TAIWAN, THE SOVIET UNION AND VIETNAM, WAS THE BIGGEST WORKSHOP OF ITS KIND HELD IN HONG KONG SO FAR.
IT WAS ORGANISED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG TO MARK THE OPENING OF ITS SWIRE MARINE LABORATORY.
